Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How our party fish and chip van works in Edenbridge
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We are often asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and naming days and christenings, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
For a party in Edenbridge, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll do the rest. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let your neighbours know
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Send us a photo of the drive
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Parties in Edenbridge: homes, halls and local tips
Edenbridge is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Give us the address of your party in Edenbridge, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 22 miles away.
Historic houses near Edenbridge include Hever Castle (2.4 miles south-east) and Chartwell (3.1 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. After a christening at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Edenbridge, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Here we cover the TN8 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Station Road, High Street and Wellingtonia Way; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Edenbridge sits on or near the B2026 and B2027, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside Edenbridge, we also cover Marlpit Hill (1 mile north), Mowshurst (1 mile north-east), Troy Town (1 mile north-west), Pootings (2 miles north-east) and Four Elms (2 miles north-east).

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Common questions in Edenbridge
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Edenbridge close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
